If you have a problem with that gene then you may have additional problems.
If you have a problem with genes that clear toxins in the brain you may be more at risk.

I have had a brain MRI and waiting for the doctor visit to tell me how much of a mess it is with white matter, etc. I have read the report. Now I need the expert.
What good does that report do. Really not much. They cant do much other than tell you to work on risk factors for stroke etc. tell me to take statins which I dont want to do. I have to figure out another way.
Also I had no idea that reflux can increase risk of stroke.

Bacteria was found in Alzheimer’s plaques.
